The emergence of the Smart Grid is an integrated solution for the next generation power system that combines IT technology in the power system to create optimal energy utilization and various services. However, these convergence technologies (power systems and information communications) are not only improving the related technologies but also producing various problems especially exposure to cyber risk. In particular, the intelligent power grid has security vulnerabilities through real-time information sharing among various organically linked systems, and it is more complicated than the cyber risk problem in the existing IT field and is directly connected to national disaster accidents. Therefore, in order to construct and operate a more stable smart grid, this paper analyzes the system of power system control system in Korea, and proposes a cyber security element definition and a countermeasure establishment method of power monitoring & control systems based on security standards of smart grid (No. SPS-SGSF-121-1-1).

This paper analyzes the backgrounds of the standards for protection against electric shock in Global Technical Regulations (GTR) of Fuel Cell Vehicle (FCV). Targets on research were high voltage criteria, safety current, isolation and grounding resistance, time limitation, energy, adequate clearance, and test procedure. Based on human impedance and effect of current in IEC 60479-1, safety of human was examined. Then, isolation and grounding circuit model of FCV were analyzed theoretically. The results give several suggestions: touch voltage less than 25V, AC energy less than 0.0813J, separation considering middle finger length, grounding resistance less than $0.2\Omega$, maximum AC ground voltage of 1V (rms), and isolation resistance between earth and electrical chassis. In MATLAB/Simulink environment, error characteristics of isolation resistance measurement procedure using internal DC sources were analyzed under variations of internal resistance of voltmeter and isolation resistance.

This study gives an account of the collateral standards in IEC 60601-1-3: 2008 specifying the general requirements for basic safety and essential performance of diagnostic X-ray equipment regarding radiation protection as it pertains to the production of X-rays. The collateral standards establish general requirements for safety regarding ionization radiation in diagnostic radiation systems and describe a verifiable evaluation method of suitable requirements regarding control over the lowest possible dose equivalent for patients, radiologic technologists, and others. The particular standards for each equipment can be determined by the general requirements in the collateral standard and the particular standard is followed in the risk management file. The guidelines for radiation safety of diagnostic radiation systems is written up in ISO 13485, ISO 14971, IEC 60601-1-3(2002)1st edition, medical electric equipment part 1-3, and the general requirements for safety-collateral standards: programmable electrical medical systems. Therefore the diagnostic radiation system protects citizens' health rights with the establishment and revisions of laws and standards for diagnostic radiation systems as a background for the general requirements of radiation safe guards applies, as an international trend, standards regarding the medical radiation safety management. The diagnostic radiation system will also assure competitive power through a conforming evaluation unifying the differing standards, technical specifications, and recognized processes.

This paper describes an IoT-based electrical safety management system for managing the electrical power distribution systems in factories or buildings and for managing private electrical devices in apartment complex. The IoT-based electrical safety management system collects IoT data from the electrical facilities or devices to provide various electrical safety services. In some cases, it uses an IoT adaptor to collect data from legacy facilities. By monitoring and analyzing the IoT data, it is possible to provide protection from and prevent electrical hazards. In addition, an IoT-based electrical safety management system can benefit from using the IoT identification system and standardized data model of the electrical facilities and devices. An IoT identification system is used to increase manageability of large-scale electrical facilities which consists of numerous IoT devices. A standardized data model is used to support interoperability. This paper also explores some international and Korean standards related to IoT-based electrical safety management.

The regulatory guide, RG-1.204 and its underlying or confirmatory research, NUREG/CR-6866 were studied for Korean application to LPGS of NPPs. However they excluded the application to that of NPPs. So US-NRC approved selectively industrial standards to that of NPPs on Nov 2005. It is necessary to understand the basis of regulatory technology related regulatory positions on LPGS and important to implement the guidance on LPGS as a resonable standard. The paper is examined what and how state of the art of relevant technology applied to the LPGS as well as the trip-out events related to electrical system were involved with LPGS. We reviewed the relevant standards applicable to Korean NPPs. Following are concluded to recommend. (1) IEEE 510-1050 is recommended as a guide for I&C grounding against EMI and lighting transients (2) IEEE Std-665, 510-666, Std-C62.23 for electrical grounding against voltage surges and lighting transients (3) Inspection should be thoroughly be implemented a frequency of 3-5 year period according to NFPA780 or KSC-IEC 61024.

Background: This work presents an experimental and modeling study of the electromagnetic environment in the vicinity of a high voltage substation located in eastern Algeria (Annaba city) specified with a very high population density. The effects of electromagnetic fields emanating from the coupled multi-lines high voltage power systems (MLHV) on the health of the workers and people living in proximity of substations has been analyzed. Methods: Experimental Measurements for the Multi-lines power system proposed have been conducted in the free space under the high voltage lines. Field's intensities were measured using a referenced and calibrated electromagnetic field meter PMM8053B for the levels 0 m, 1 m, 1.5 m and 1.8 m witch present the sensitive's parts as organs and major functions (head, heart, pelvis and feet) of the human body. Results: The measurement results were validated by numerical simulation using the finite element method and these results are compared with the limit values of the international standards. Conclusion: We project to set own national standards for exposure to electromagnetic fields, in order to achieve a regional database that will be at the disposal of partners concerned to ensure safety of people and mainly workers inside high voltage electrical substations.

Presently the Korean grounding system uses TN system, multi-grounding method with TT independent grounding method. Nevertheless TN system can't exist with TT system in the technological terms. If they coexist, it causes ground-fault circuit not to operate, and brings about different electrical potential rise by customer system. It brings about serious problems for safety. This paper aims for improving method of grounding system based on the technical analysis on instances in foreign countries and Korea. Almost standards and construction manner were apt to be internationalized after WTO/TBT agreement was concluded. The internal grounding systems should meet the international criteria and reliability for safety, and be provided with technologically impeccable standards.
